PH 3/2 pendant lamp

Black

PH 3/2 pendant lamp is a beautiful ceiling lamp from Louis Poulsen. The shades are made of reflective, mouth-blown opal glass in three layers that direct most of the light downwards. They are glossy on the outside and have a matte, sandblasted inside that produces a soft and diffuse light. The iconic three-shade system was designed by Danish Poul Henningsen who in collaboration with Louis Poulsen designed the first PH lamps in 1925-1926 for an exhibition in Paris. Here he has utilized a scientific perspective since the lamp is based on the logarithmic spiral, a mathematical spiral curve that occurs in many places in nature. This provides an even distribution across the entire curve of the shade and together with the diffuse reflection through the glass, a harmonious and glare-free light is created. The numbers of the PH lamps refer to the size of the shades and the letters come from the designer's initials. Feel free to explore the wide range of PH lamps.
